The motor will need to be replaced. There is a throw-out switch on the motor that keeps it running after you release the start button. These are generally easy to change, with the only hard part being taking the cover off and putting it back on.

The Child Lock feature is activated and it can be deactivated by pressing and holding the DRY LEVEL button for 3 seconds or until the CL display is cleared.

Indicate the exact model number of the dryer if the control panel doesn't look like the one shown above or if no button with the small "PRESS & HOLD 3 SEC TO SET CHILD LOCK" (DRY LEVEL) marking is found.

Those two problems are usually unrelated and I believe you just have a coincidence that they both happened at the same time. You should replace the start button since it is faulty.
The heating problem could merely be that the machine does not have enough time running to heat up since you have to hold the button to keep it running, however if that is not the case then you should replace the heating element and the thermostat. Possibly the thermal fuse as well just in case.

Anra, this is a classic symptom of a failed even heat board. I've seen a lot of these failures out there. Easy to change out. Check out this link. Catriver..post back http://www.repairclinic.com/0080.asp
